Voila! Lady Eleanor in natural light, the colours looking more accurate than past photos. We had a fair chunk of the weekend sans rain but ten minutes after the picture was taken it started dripping again. Now we’re in full blown storm mode again and still boiling our water.
The specs:
1. Noro Silk Garden alternating rows between colours 211 and 225 on US size 9 needles.
2. Embarrassed to admit it – I used 17 skeins, most from E-Bay and a 40% off sale.
3. Never one to follow a pattern as written, I made this one 25% larger than specified – in the width.
4. Instead of woven fringe on the short ends, I crocheted the long edge and added fringe a la Charlotte’s Web.
5. Not wanting to crush the three dimensional woven look, I decided not to block it. Besides I wouldn’t want to subject it to our murky water right now.
6. Start to finish time, about eight weeks, a leisurely pace.
7. I’ve promised myself no more major projects until I work on Marina again. Stay tuned for progress.
